I am deeply moved by Mark Medcalf’s recent review of my book, The Courage to Lead. It is incredibly heartening to know that my journey and insights have resonated with readers.
When I set out to write this memoir, I wanted it to be more than just a recount of my career as a policeman rising through the ranks to become the Police Commander of one of NSW’s largest local area commands. My goal was to share the pivotal moments that shaped my understanding of effective leadership, particularly the personal transformation that followed my initial failure in a leadership role.
Reading such thoughtful and supportive feedback affirms the message I hoped to convey: that true leadership goes beyond operational success and lies in creating an environment where individuals can thrive both professionally and personally. The Courage to Lead is indeed a testament to resilience, empathy, and progressive leadership.
Thank you to all my readers for your support and for recognising the importance of fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace. Your kind words inspire me to continue advocating for leadership that nurtures and uplifts.
